In both cases, it eventually became clear that the team was better off with Hardaway, a pure shooter, in that spot instead. How do we make sense of that? Are Wright and Richardson not good enough examples of that type?
I tend to feel that the answer may simply be your last sentence and they just aren't good enough. We need to make sure whoever is there can take advantage of the 4 on 3 situations when Luka is being blitzed by double teams well above the break and neither seemed to be capable of that. We're basically to the point where you need someone who has been a proven #1 PG on depth charts in the past. The Brogdon ideas all make a ton of sense because he's been there, Richardson was kind of forced there in Philly but also given the boot because he wasn't good enough at that and Delon has just been...I don't even really know what Delon is still.
